"The British military terms [include] sometimes (colloquially) FISH and CHIPS (Fighting In Someone's House and Causing Havoc In People's Streets)."

Urban warfare is combat conducted in urban areas such as towns and cities. Urban combat is very different from combat in the open at both the operational and tactical level. Complicating factors in urban warfare include the presence of civilians and the complexity of the urban terrain.
